Cloud really means optimizing what you had before. Taking it like means we are talking about many more things than servers, storage etc. To help drive the enterprise cloud needs to stack up alongside other changing events like service desk, mobility, business intelligence, collaboration. A long list. Cloud for many is the enabler of some of these of course but is too often wrapped round fancy language by sales people that does one of two things (1) confuse the hell out of people who dont buy (2) end up selling something that is not fit for purpose because no one really thought long and hard enough.
IMHO Cloud is encrypted text for Right meaning 'what is right for one's business'
